Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through
the world of ˇ§Outliersˇ¨. He asks the question: what makes high-
achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention
to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where
they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation,
and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Brilliant
and entertaining, this is a landmark work that will simultaneously
delight and illuminate.
